NH4I will completely dissolve in ammonium and iodide ions: of which I-is neutral and NH4+ is quite a weak acid (pKa = 9.25). (The molar standard solution of NH4I will have pH approx. 4.6).
Our body organism can only function properly if it is in acid-base balance. The unit of acids and bases is the pH-value. The measurement scale ranges 1 to 14. 1 means strongest acidity, 14 means maximum base value. The neutral value is at 7. A healthy organism is in a light base condition with a pH-value of 7.35 to 7.45. However, there are parts in the body, where another milieu predominates. Thus the stomach is naturally very acidic (from stomach acid) while the secretion of the pancreas is alkaline and neutralizes the acidic chyme in the small intestine. If an acid molecule hits a base molecule, a neutral salt molecule is formed that can be excreted without any harm. However, if there are more acids than bases in the body, the organism won't get rid of the acids; the tissue becomes more acidic, and a variety of medical complaints and diseases can occur, such as cancer
